To set the record straight: Ordering a Mai-Tai "old way" at Trader Vic's will get you a 151 float on your drink that was made with TV Mai-Tai mix. Ordering a San Francisco Mai-Tai at Trader Vic's should get you a Mai-Tai made with the required, individual ingredients. The TV Navy Grog is a drink that has always and only been made using a prepared concentrate/mix. Ordering a Navy Grog "old way" will again get you a 151 float on your drink. These are actual facts from a person that worked at Trader Vic's for over two years. And yes, I had Navy Grog "old way" (not "the old way") last night.
